Here is a single dogfight between myself and Suns.
http://www.freeroleentertainment.com/sunsfan_g2_1414.ahf
I challenge anyone to attempt to argue that this does not look like good fun to those interested in dogfighting. Any argument in this thread is invalid if you comment without watching this film first.
This is a great example of what the DA is best for in my opinion. Having a 1 on 1 dogfight with your friends (or even worthy enemies). I secondly challenge anyone to find some ego anywhere in this fight.
-
I never notice ego in the DA only on the boards
some good flying on both parts :salute
-
That was fun to watch :aok
(Think my sound's broken (there's no stall horn))
-
Its not, just a quirk of the film viewer.
-
LOL love the creative merge Bat!! you both are awesome and great yet frustrating to fight :aok :aok

Batfink,

After watching that video, it was apparent that you took it easy on me in the bracket 2 years ago!!! YOU SAID YOU TRIED HARD!!!
Changeup <-----------heartbroken! lmao

<<<<<<<<make every attempt to squash EGO'z in the DA...... :neener: :neener: :neener: :neener:

That's what keeps me playing is finding that kind of 1V1 when i fly
-
those fights are always available in the Da if you ask the right people. Not many people who duel for fun will turn down an offer for a 1on1.
The merge I used would be suicide if Suns was really trying to kill me straight away, but we've fought so many times I knew he would probably see it as an invitation to start a rolling fight. You can see he has his guns on me a couple of times early on but he holds fire because he wants to fly more than kill. He knows he does not need to take that shot because he is confident in his ability to stand toe to toe in an equal fight or if he is not up to it, he is taking the chance to find out...just for the fun of it!
lol, Changeup sir, the explanation could just be that I am always learning and working things out, definitely since two years ago.
This was just a random fight, neither of us taking it seriously, just showing each other what we can do with a virtual airplane. Great fun!

Superb outlook :salute

This is what the DA is all about. It makes me laugh when people think the DA is about flying in F3 mode in a tempest. It's about trying new things, seeing what works and what doesn't. I think if everyone spent a few hours each tour doing 1v1's in the DA the average MA skill level would skyrocket. This is a perfect example how 99.999% of the 1v1's in the DA go. Both sides saluting each other, and acknowledging that a great fight has just occurred. If you like this fight go find the 5 rounds that Bat and I did for baldeagles dueling ladder. Those were by far the most intense fights I've had the pleasure to partake in. :salute Batfink

I fought him 3 fights that last tourney, also some of my most fun and challenging fights. I also happened to duel with him and some other guys for a few hours after the official duel. Great fun and great fights. I love fighting guys in the DA, it's super fun and does nothing but help you. I don't believe that I've run into a single one of the DA regulars that was a bad dude or a cheap fighter at all. It's always been fantastic.
-
good thread, breath of fresh air. great flying by both, and both are class acts. salute!

Guys.... seriously, this is a club 290 back pat....
Of course, suns, batfinkv, nrshida, grizz, bunnies, Juggler, delalos, 2bighorn(or whatever hes using this week), shade, sunbat, agent360, krupnski, dodger, SERaider, sc0tch, IrishOne, Elburro, madda (in the past), strong10(in the past), trogdor, squat1, and anyone else that I missed who frequent the informal 1v1s party, enjoys informal 1v1s... and believes that this is what its all about....duh!
but for many others, esp people who are first starting, the lake is where they get their first flights...
Now, for the stereotypical lake attitude, that just baffles me..... if your not good, why puff your chest when people offer to help? are you going to learn by via denial? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
-
And not even once did you use F-3 in this fight? Come on now tell the truth and also I wish people would start posting on YouTube so more than 3 people can see it. Most times I can't even find the film application to view what has been posted. All I see is FILE NOT FOUND.
-

You can't lie about this when presenting an .ahf file. Check "use recorded views" at playback in the film viewer, and you will see if the player used external views or not.
And this (among other things) is why it's much better to use the AH film viewer files than putting it on youtube. It's far more helpful.
And when do you see "file not found"?

The DA would bennefit greatly by the appearance of some of the HIGH QUALITY players from a particular squad known as
wait for it!

once in awhile would be nice!

There is no ego in the DA... just at the lake.
The DA fields are a lot of fun with friends.

I'm not high quality but I'd be happy to help anyone boost their ego killing me in the DA. :lol

When are you guys there? I try to poke my head in whenever I log on to see if anything is happening but rarely see anyone. I'd practically live in the DA if I could find y'all more frequently.
-
I think I'm being dragged int-- Yep, it's happened, I'm up for some fun in the DA.
-
I am often in the DA weekdays around 3-6am Central Time Zone (North America). Anyone sees me or searches I'm always open for a duel. This invitation is extended to players of any skill level.
Would be nice if the regulars could organize a bit better. I did suggest a duelling register but the idea got poo-pooed :cry

DA is fun, except for those no-good-for-nothing inglorious bastages that contaminate the ch 290 with P-47 talk...............
Right JUGgler? :cheers: :salute

The 80th guys in the DA would certainly peek my interest in the game again.

Good news!
I've been in the DA with some 80th guys before. Always a classy experience when dealing with those p38 lovers. The main thing I usualy come away thinking is that I need to seriously improve my p38 flying. :lol

After flying and dying against a 38, the only thing I come away with is a question: Who in the hell said the Spit was a better turny plane than a 38? Then I try to remember who so I can shoot them in their pancreas.

Yea I had a blast. At one point there were about 15 of us on VOX. I wish there was a system in place in the MA for people who want to 1v1. Kinda like the mission list, but for people who want to shoot at each other instead of tool sheds. Something like that would make these type of events be the norm.
-
Yep, great time, but I couldn't fly that jug or the spit for crap. Got my butt handed to me all night, but had a very fun night! Thanks all!

Was a good crowd. Had some great fights in the 109fs.

Hey, post the last 202 fight. I think it will give people an idea of the difference between the lake and what the DA used to be before I destroyed it (or maybe what is should be).

Good example on hoe F3 mode would have made it easier to kill Juggler. 4 fights, his is the 3rd.
